UNSPSC 50331584: Dried organic stayman apples

The variety of organic apples known as organic stayman apples that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50331584 Dried organic stayman apples, a Commodity code, does not map cleanly to state and local procurement activity in the recent opportunities sample. The code nominally names a specific dried apple variety, but the recent solicitations under this code involve school nutrition programs and correctional facilities purchasing broad fresh and frozen produce assortments, dried fruit mixes, and commodity food items—not dried stayman apples specifically. The Hancock County Schools solicitation names multiple fresh apple varieties (Ambrosia, Fuji, Gala, Granny Smith, Honey Crisp, Jazz) and does not reference dried stayman apples; the Santa Clara County dried-fruits-and-nuts procurement specifies dried raisins, cranberries, and tropical fruit mix, not dried stayman apples. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its stated scope.

School districts and county boards of education dominate the issuing bodies across the opportunities tagged to this code, with procurement activity concentrated in Georgia (Hancock County Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System) and expanding to Virginia (Fairfax County Public Schools), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District), Connecticut (City of Bridgeport), California (Santa Clara County), and Texas (TDCJ, Comptroller of Public Accounts). Sealed bids under IFB and RFP notice types are standard, with response dates clustering in late March through late June 2026. However, the commodity code itself appears misaligned with the work actually being purchased—school nutrition programs are sourcing fresh produce, commodity food distributions, and broad grocery assortments rather than dried stayman apple products. Procurement professionals should verify the code against specific RFP scope language before pursuing opportunities nominally tagged to this UNSPSC designation.
